The fault
How you spot it
The brake disc and the pad wear out far sooner than usual; the roadworthiness test statistics show this for every model year. The same phenomenon was present on the first generation too, so it is not one bad batch: the higher mass and the sizing of the brake system bring it together. Freshly replaced brakes hide the wear.

Information, not an expert opinion
We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.
- A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
- A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
- You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
